"Anyone who thinks that sunshine is pure happiness has never danced in the rain"

Mud Pies (of the edible, 100% dirt free variety).

Because it was my birthday I wanted to give the audience each a slice of birthday cake to celebrate with me. For obvious reasons I settled on dark chocolate Mud Pies.
I tied my birthday Mud pie baskets and serviettes to the theme of the morning with the added extra of hinting to autumn (and the rainy season) starting in South Africa by using Canadian (where we are now living) elements such as the maple leaves, maple syrup candy and all the images in the slide show was from Canadian fall scenes.

This is my ongoing creative workbook to research and capture design projects and techniques. You will mostly find ideas for floral art but I will also include some other projects such as gift packaging, cards and even cake decorating with a few lifestyle
projects arranged in between.

Everything you see in this workbook was designed, made and photographed by me, unless specific credit is given to another designer.
